The entity content from ICE's Entity team is delivered via our IDS and APEX feed platforms today.

Upon receipt of a client's securities of interest, the securities are linked to the associated entity and/or parent information which is delivered daily.

Client portfolios are tracked to check for unlinked ISINs which are then linked to an issuer / a parent hierarchy by our team of specialists.

Entity records are enriched to contain 67 core attributes to describe and classify the entity.

Entity content is also available via a web portal in order to search and view entity details and hierarchy.
